I replaced two energey efficient ACs in my house. I qualify for two 600 credits or just one in 2024 federal tax filing for a total of $1200. How do I claim both in the turbotax. Where do I specify number of systems in the Form 5695, Residential Energy Credits?

I am using turbotax on mac. The search function and bot are terrible in providing accurate results. I can's seem to open the form 5695.
